this is a hard one to explain.
the dsl modem is also acting as a router/dhcp server... you need to go into the dsl modem configuration and switch it to bridged mode. once thats done then the linksys can act like it should ... you need to enter your PPPOE user info in your linksys.... right now if you go into the linksys setting im willing to bet under the status page your external ip address is a 192.168.x.x number. or 10.0.x.x or a 172.x.x.x
Couple ways you can go about figuring this out.... go to the website of the ISP and see if they have a knowledge base article on setting up dsl with a linksys router. or you can call them... im sure MANY people have this setup and is probably the most common question they get asked.
if you hook the computer directly up to the dsl modem do you get the internet?
